Temptation- Judean Wilderness
Mar 5, 2017 • Philip Bassham • temptation, Temple, Judean Wildnerness, empathy, sympathy, Matthew 4:1-11
It is one thing to sympathize, it is another to be able to empathize. Jesus can do both. No matter what you are going through, Jesus has felt it, no matter how you feel, Jesus has felt it. The temptations that Jesus endured in the wilderness while being alone are the same way that Satan comes to us. The answer that Jesus gave to Satan was from God's word. We learn three things from seeing Jesus in the wilderness:
Learn to rely on God, not yourself. Follow God’s plan, no shortcuts. Build God’s Kingdom, not yours.
